Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

GIS at its simplest is computer-aided "mapping," displaying demographic, topographic, or other data so that it can be visually interpreted and analyzed.

These presentations are semi-independent. Each covers a different topic within GIS. They do, however, tend to build on each other. All use the ArcGIS software.
